Jonathan Turley on Hunter and Joe Biden
[NOTE: I was just about to publish this post this afternoon when the power went out.]
Jonathan Turley is taking seriously the information that Hunter Biden and his dad Joe had some combined bank accounts:
However, the tranche of emails raises a new and disturbing element: the possible mixing of accounts and funds between Hunter and his father. If true, President Biden could be directly implicated in ongoing investigations into his son’s money transfers and dealings.
Most notable are the new emails from Eric Schwerin, his business partner at the Rosemont Seneca consultancy, referencing the payment of household bills for both Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. He also notes that he was transferring money from Joe Biden. If true, the communications indicate that some of President Biden’s personal expenses were paid out of shared accounts with Hunter, including accounts that may have been used to pay for prostitutes. Rosemont Seneca is directly involved in the alleged influence peddling schemes and questionable money transfers from Chinese and Russian sources.
Schwerin also was involved in President Biden’s taxes and discussions of a book deal for the then-vice president…
No wonder the press and the Democrats and social media worked overtime a year ago to make sure to discredit all the Hunter laptop information. The suppression worked temporarily – and perhaps permanently for a lot of people – and that temporary success helped mightily to give us the Biden presidency.
More from Turley:
There is already a federal criminal investigation into these matters involving Hunter Biden, and the latest emails now link President Biden receiving money and benefits from related accounts as well as key players. Even if one questions a direct conflict of interest, it is hard to deny the towering appearance of a conflict in the ongoing investigation.
“The Big Guy” is now president and his administration is handling an investigation that could have political as well as legal implications for him and his family. It may be time for a special counsel.
Long past time, I’d say. But I will go out on a limb with a prediction: it won’t happen.
Also, if things actually do heat up and the MSM et al can’t squelch the commotion sufficiently, Joe will be dumped for “health reasons” by the Democrat powers-that-actually-be and Kamala will be declared our new – first female – president. After all, one stupid, unlikable socialist puppet is just as good as another, and Kamala has the added benefit of being young and checking various favored-identity-group boxes.
Merrick Garland knows upon which side the butter lies. He ain’t gonna do the foolish Republican thing and appoint a prosecutor. And the press will not lean on him to do it because it makes them look even worse. They had the information and deliberately squelched it.
Commie Harris won’t want to trigger a 25th Amendment crisis until after January 22, 2023, after which time she might be eligible to run for two terms of her own.
Also, Harris as VP has the ability to break tie votes in the Senate. Harris as President won’t have that option, and it wouldn’t exist until a new VP could be appointed. So we regular Americans might want Biden to resign or be 25th’ed out.
On the other hand, if the Dim’s electoral chances are as bad as some suspect and hope, the Dims might want to get Sloe Joe out of the way while there’s still a CHANCE of getting a lefty VP, which probably won’t happen in the next Congress.
Charlie Brown will never kick the football, and the swamp will always protect its own.
Kenneth Mitchell —
Biden would have to die, resign, or be impeached/convicted to be removed from office and have Harris ascend to it. Otherwise, all that can happen with the 25th is to make her permanent Acting President, in which I believe she still is Vice President with the powers thereof as well, although it’s not clear from the text and I suspect it’s never been litigated.
(You’d think that after more than a century of judges having to parse the text of Amendments, the writers would learn to be very very precise, complete, and consistent. Sigh.)
Bryan,
Interesting take. It might come down to a senate rules interpretation.
It still has to be from the DOJ and as they say, That dog won’t hunt.
Well, that’s a pretty thick limb you’re going out on.
And what a victory for feminism if Harris becomes President! Or acting President or whatever. Sarcasm of course.
Most notable are the new emails from Eric Schwerin, his business partner at the Rosemont Seneca consultancy, referencing the payment of household bills for both Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.
That’s the consultancy that had Christopher Heinz, John Kerry’s stepson, as one of its leading partners until Hunter began to set up the Burisma mess. The appearance of corruption was too great for Heinz and he bailed out.
The Republican Party seems consumed by Napoleon’s purported dictum to “Never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake.” Of course, many Republicans are on the side of their supposed enemy, too.
Unfortunately, the media has great enough power to hide the Democrats’ mistakes (crimes) long enough that even the worst of them evolve into “old news”. A brilliant communicator could craft a simple missive that would destroy the Democrats, but that seems to be the very nail that the king’s horse’s shoe is missing.
They don’t care, really, about it, because they know that Kamala will be the same kind of drooling incompetence that Brandon is.
I though you’d taken the night off neo.
And that’s just a stub of a limb you’re going out on.
Kenneth Mitchell,
According to his sister, Biden has lusted after the Presidency since he was a teenager. They’ll have to pry the Presidency from his cold, dead hands…
When Obama decides that it’s time for Xiden to go, the RINOs will fully cooperate in voting for whomever Obama tells Harris to nominate.
Ray+Van+Dune,
While a brilliant communicator would surely be welcome, the dems all by themselves are doing a fine job of shooting themselves in both feet. To name just a few; empty Xmas shelves, rising inflation, mandatory vaccinations, fired employees, dishonorable discharges of loyal military personnel, a rising death toll among the vaccinated and the coming terrorist attacks are going to make it personal for a lot of low info liberals and independents.
“It still has to be from the DOJ and as they say, That dog won’t hunt.”
This is quite likely the most serious, the most pernicious problem that the nation faces: a totally corrupted DOJ.
What it means is that the current rogue administration is well-protected on many sides: by the corrupt media and info-tech sector, by the corrupt DOJ, by other coopted and corrupted government agencies and by “Republicans” who for whatever absurd rationale buy into the artfully-contrived fiction that Trump (and those who support him) is THE biggest danger to the Republic…
…for it is precisely THIS demonization that has given the Democrats carte blanche to lie, manipulate and pervert the truth—as they wildly flaunt the myth that only THEY can save the country and its citizenry…when in fact, their policy is to destroy the country as we know it, even as it wages war on its citizens….
FWIW I’ll repost this sinister, hair-raising, if fascinating link, which is “multi-disciplinary”, covering, as it does, a multitude of “bases”…. (One might even call it “paranoid” and/or “crazy” and/or “conspiratorial”…

Barry: very helpful link.
Particularly as it identifies Bazsak of EcoHealth Alliance as a money launderer, one to whom Fauci had made millions of grants, which EcoHealth then dispensed to others, including the Wuhan Lab.
EcoHealth claims the world, its seas and skies, and all its peoples as their “concern”. That includes global warming/climate change, of course.
The problem is that they’re all in this—and totally compromised—up to their eyeballs….
That they haven’t been able to entirely cover it up is somewhat encouraging.
That Fauci is still in a position of tremendous power is less so, though his credibility has taken a shellacking (as it should have).
That “Biden” will keep Fauci at his post is much more egregious; yet one can understand that both “Biden” AND Fauci have a tremendous amount of crime to cover up and that they are working in tandem to protect—and enable—one another, i.e., “one hand washes the other” (or, if you prefer, “they scratch each other’s backs”…).
In other words, “Biden” will protect Fauci; and Fauci will do his best to keep America in deep COVID mode, totally panicked and at loose ends…so as to ensure that “Biden” continues to be “elected” (assuming there will be elections in the future).
“Thick as thieves”, as the expression goes.
Meanwhile both are doing their best to sabotage the country.
Authoritarians gotta authoritate….
The gloves are off.
(The gloves were ALWAYS off…but one preferred not to recognize this, chose not to see this, opted not to admit this….)
Well, one can look away no longer….

…as “Biden”‘ game of chicken with the American people picks up steam….
Yep, one hand washes the other…
(This time, it’s Merck, which has a bit of “catching up” to do….)

Yes, Barry, ivermectin is out of patent protection, so Merck will make lots more money on the new therapeutic. Of course, people will die before it’s approved and in distribution, but what difference, at this point, does it make?
So all the more reason for Trump to run for Congress as a representative in Nov 2022. And get elected as Speaker of the House (presuming Rep majority).
Impeaching Xiden and/or Que-mala may be impossible, but using the 25th on Xiden to ‘elevate’ Que-mala becomes much less viable
Yes DJT would not be the greatest SotH but with support he can do the job.ost of it can be delegated. In the meantime he can make a list, as in
“If someday it may happen that a victim must be found, I’ve got a little list, …”

As Kate borrows from Hillary, allow me to reframe for Barry Meislin this extension of his thought, which I quote:
” ‘It still has to be from the DOJ and as they say, That dog won’t hunt.’
“This is quite likely the most serious, the most pernicious problem that the nation faces: a totally corrupted DOJ.
What it means is that the current rogue administration is well-protected on many sides: by the corrupt media and info-tech sector, by the corrupt DOJ, by other coopted….”
If Laws are for the little people, who then needs the Rule of Law? Only those little nations. Not the likes of China or the US.4
The Rule of Law is so…small minded. Only small heads care. We Ruling Class leaders have better things to worry about.
I would agree that “Kamala has the added benefit of being young and checking various favored identity group boxes.” She also has the disadvantage of being quite unpopular- self serving, synthetic and not having true principles other than those that contribute to her political well being. I would view her appointment to the presidency as being a major problem for the Democrats. Harris would eventually be facing re-election and would not do well against a good Republican candidate. I believe the Democrats are well aware of this possibility.
Harris would eventually be facing re-election and would not do well against a good Republican candidate.
quiet conservative:
Not to mention, as Biden has shown, apparently it takes competence to run America from the White House, and not just a group of wannabe technocrats, who check the right identity boxes, plus their Deep State helpers.
Who knew?
huxley. Does the Left know? Does the Ruling Class media leading the Left have the conscience to even care?
Something’s are like the feel and taste of water. You must experience to “know” it.
Besides, history is bunk.
TJ:
I can only conclude that the Left has made its Luciferian choice, as Milton put it:
